the best professionals in the industry working with me. And Thierry, for example, who is

the producer behind the show I've worked with him for quite a few seasons now.

She was absolutely extraordinary in her will on the way she listens. We have meetings in

London with the stylist and her and everything is discussed together and we go from scratch

to something then we're building slowly an image.

We work very close with each other. Talking about lighting, set design and we go into

a lot of detail with all of these different elements. He might come to one meeting with

a bag full of wood samples. We look at paint samples so we can decide what colour the walls

are going to be, what colour the benches are going to be.

Fashion show became marketing moment. The guests are professional people. The moment

they come into the room of your show you have to find a way to make them feel comfortable,

to make them feel at home and then they are all trying to forget what they saw before

and discover the collection.

We have Pat McGrath doing make up, who is incredible, and Guido doing hair. I didn't

want to put too much make up on the girls and so I said to Pat, I want them to have

a little bit of make up but I don't want them to look like they're wearing make up. I want

it to be very natural and beautiful make up. This season when the girls were coming in

for their fittings and for castings they looked fresh, youthful and they looked beautiful.

It's always about proportion with me and this season particularly I wanted a long leg, a

high hip because I had lots of trousers. So I was very specific about the proportion of

the girl.

There's something very special about going to the show because is one seeing the clothes

on the rail the day after but the show is really the way you present collection to the

world.

The show being the show is as amazing as you think it would be. The excitement, the adrenaline,

the fact that everyone's six months of hard work have come down to that.

We progress every season and Victoria pushes us. There is of course an ambition to say

something exciting every new season.

It's amazing to experience that and I think the whole team sort of get driven off that

for the season.

It's always quite an emotional time because none of the team or myself have had a lot

of sleep, so everybody's very tired, your emotions have been up there, down there. I'm

very proud as well, proud of myself, proud of the team and what we've created. It's a

big show now, we've come along way from those little presentations we did in the Waldorf

Hotel five years ago. It's great and it's very exciting to see certain buyers and certain

fashion press that have come on this journey with me and that are continuing on this journey

with me and people that if they hadn't been part of my career I wouldn't be where I am

now.
